The Funny Thing Is
When the perverted story of Republican Mark Foleys sexual misconduct involving an underage page became public I could not help but wonder how long the story would get media coverage. Initially I thought the story would get 4 to 6 days of coverage max, after all I thought, sexual misconduct is nothing new to voters these days and with that, I estimated the public would quickly lose interest and the story would vanish. Boy was I ever wrong! How could have been so naive or so stupid whichever you prefer, but with midterm elections coming up in november Democrats werent about to let this golden goose slip away. The funny thing is, its not the Democrats you would think who are keeping the foley scandal in the news, you would think Joe Biden or Ted Kennedy would be on C-span around the clock holding up signs with Foleys name. No the Democrats in Congress have all been realtively silent on the Foley-page story because they know it could be a double edged sword of a story, because as they are keenly aware, rightly or wrongly that Democrats are considered by most voters as the party sexual misconduct, and when most voters think of elected officials and sex scandals one word comes to mind C-L-I-N-T-O-N! So if elected Democrats arent who is responsible for keeping this story front page news then who is? If I ever had an ounce of doubt about a liberal democrat bias in the media I do not any longer. This story shows for all to see that the liberal left wing bias in the media spreads wide and far, from news magazines to news papers the liberal death grip on all things media is as strong as ever. Let there be no doubt that were Foley a Democrat you probably would have only heard about Mark Foley on blogs and talk radio, the "mainstream" media would have avoided this story like the plague. Why you ask? Well the reason they wouldnt touch it if it were a Democrat is the same reason they wont let it die now, the upcoming midterm elections. Round up the usual suspects, the NY Times ABC, NBC and CBS. The leftists that run these outfits are convinced Clintons sex scandals cost Gore the Presidency in 2000, and that the same sex marriage issue handed Bush the white House in 2004. Liberals in news rooms everywhere believe this is an opportunity too good to pass up.
